On April 2nd while Catholics worldwide observed Good Friday, the people of Culebra and Vieques took to the streets to protest the maritime transportation system.The outcry for justice echoed “We want transportation with dignity and efficiency” “The waterway is our road, it is not luxury” and “We denounce inhumanity and unite our hands”. The islands of Culebra and Vieques are part of the archipelago of islands that constitute Puerto Rico, which has been a colony of the United States for the past 123 years.
